FORECAST SUMMARY:
Shower chances are back. High pressure will go by the wayside. An unsettled pattern takes over as the new week gets underway, thanks to a system over the Plains and a weak impulse over the western Gulf of Mexico. Clouds and daily rain chances will help limit temperatures this week. Highs will remain in the 70s, with lows in the 50s and 60s.
MONDAY MORNING:
There will be a 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy. Temperatures north 56 – 63, south 65-72. East winds zero to 10 mph.
REST OF MONDAY:
Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms, mainly after noon. Cloudy. Highs 74-79. Breezy at times. East winds 5 to 15 mph, with gusts of 15 mph or more.
MONDAY NIGHT:
Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms. Cloudy conditions. Lows north 62-65, south 65-71. East winds around 5 to 15 mph.
ELECTION DAY:
Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms. Cloudy. Highs 71-78. Breezy at times. East winds 10 to 20 mph.
BEACH PLANS?
Expect showers and isolated storms. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s. For a more detailed beach forecast, click HERE.
RAIN CHANCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK?
Lots of uncertainty remains regarding rain chances beyond Wednesday. Once the initial Gulf impulse passes and the overall trough pattern becomes stretched out across the country, this will result in tapering rain chances by Wednesday.
Daily isolated to scattered rain and storm chances will hang around, but don’t expect the week to be a washout or a drought buster. The GFS model continues to show a drier setup, while the ECMWF model keeps umbrella weather in place. We’ll continue to look for consistency as the week plays out.
TEMPERATURES:
Daytime highs will be in the 70s. Nighttime lows will be in the 50s and 60s. Models continue to indicate a strong cold front passing through by the weekend.
GFS MOS temperatures are biting on it, indicating highs in the low 70s Saturday and upper 60s Sunday. We’ll see.
DRY ACROSS THE STATE:
Not much has changed. As of the Thursday release of the drought monitor, the entire state is abnormally dry, at best. Moderate drought conditions have expanded into portions of southeast Louisiana. Only 0.05” of rain was recorded at the airport in October. So far in November, only 0.01” of rain has fallen. There is a chance for measurable rain next week, although no drought buster by any means.
